For the first time in my life, I turn back fully to the God of my ancestors; yet for the first time in my life, there are many who would no longer consider me to be a Jew.Stefan Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530690016594029847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514726127775216123.post-65808595009981368492007-03-05T09:05:00.000-08:002007-03-05T09:05:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stefan Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530690016594029847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514726127775216123.post-89165798673689871352007-03-04T16:06:00.000-08:002007-03-04T16:06:00.000-08:00What a terrific testimony, Sewing.

I work with a Jewish lady who exploded when I referred in passing to a "Jewish friend at church." She told me that this whole "Jewish Christian" business was [expletive deleted].<BR/><BR/>But I bet you dimes to donuts she'd have no problem with "atheist Jew."DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514726127775216123.post-12094845967571373432007-03-03T09:27:00.000-08:002007-03-03T09:27:00.000-08:00Good stuff, and that is a very interesting exegesi...Good stuff, and that is a very interesting exegesis (or as I have read it called, "extra Jesus").
